f85 X5M rear bumper retrofit to m sport 50i

[Maverik259]

Agree. Would love to have the rear bumper and exhaust. However I like M sport bumper just fine and happy to save money where I can. I did the same for my amg however. Put on a CLK63 front bumper when I cracked my oem C55 from bumper on a drive shaft that fell off a tow truck. Insurance covered it all thankfully and thanks to USAA I sent them all the quotes for parts. They sent me the money and I ordered what i needed to make the change. Perfect scenario. Now I just need someone to rear end me. Lol

Anyone know the answer here?

I wonder if any of that stuff is oem, or all aftermarket. Definitely some missing parts there, I have an f85 front bumper insta8 on my f15 and all of the lower fender liners belly pan and brackets etc need replaced as well. Its actually a lot of work to properly install the f85 bumper.

Yea they said the belly pan is also included theirs some parts not pictured. As well as the exhaust

It's all the same kit just sold through different vendors and they take pics of the kit and omit some things.

Like some show the bumper beams and crush foam and others don't.

Either way it's a way cheaper route to go vs all OEM for a near perfect match. I think they either use old tools that are slightly out of spec or they scan the OEM part and literally rebuild it from the ground up. I took a chance on a TT kit from them and it was a perfect fit and a 100% copy to the original.

It's Not for everyone but someone wanting to do it and not break the bank it's an option to look at.

Worst case is if their is a part missing then you can buy the missing OEM parts and they will work with the kit as it's identical to the OEM part.


Like I bet you'll need the intake parts for the oil coolers and such but again your saving lots going this route so overall you'll save thousands.

There was a guy a while back posting pictures of the same kit and how he was going to install it on his x5. Months later, we're still waiting 🤔

It be nice to know if it was quality or not.

I guess some people's plans change.


I for one won't do this unless someone hits my front or rear. If they hit me then I have a good reason to play.

Hi, I was wondering what the best option is to replace the OEM muffler on my x5 m sport. is there any direct fit that will fit in m sport bumper if not what will I need to do to get it to fit?

Why not get the M Performance carbon fiber rear pieces like the diffuser and/or flaps?

I felt the same about by M Sport 50i and once I added those it made the rear look much nicer. And I didn't have to add parts that don't belong on the car.

That is what I did. I put the CF MF rear diffuser and also black stainless exhaust covers. It makes the rear look a little more sporty IMHO. The stainless steel covers seem to be lower risk than painting the exhaust tips - which tend to flake off.
